THE EAVESDROPPER,
Who Hastens TO Print What He Hap
pens to Hear, without the Con-
sent ofthe Authors Thereof

REPRESENTATIVE STRONG; Large
bodies move slowly. TO appreciate
this fully go 10 congress or the legis-
lature.
j. b. GEORGE: | came from Mich
igan to Dallas to get closer TO the sun.
The winters seem to grow more severe
every year in the North.
PIP. MARTINEZ: Did you see my
Morning Glory Cigar card? 1t is nice
but the cigar is nicer. Dealers will
take a card as cash for a cigar which |
will be pleased to have you try.
DIR. MCKEE: The suggestion Of the
HERALD is sensible. Let the city i'm
prove the sewerage system and there.
by improve the private wells and
springs ofthe town, and guard against
the dangers of disease.
OLD BATcHELoR You ask why |
have never married. Never loved?
Oh, yes-lots of times. Cnrequited =?
Oh, no; not that. You see, when
quite young man | attended supper
given by the Young Ladies' Cooking
Club!
j. A. CHANDLER: The people
around Eastland need seed to plant,
and are not able 10 buy them. My
firm has done everything possible, as
have other merchants of the town,
but we cannot supply ten per cent of
the sufferers.
Young GENTLEMAN: The Young
Ladies' Cooking Club is good, and a
club of the same kind for young girls
would be quite as well. The earlier
the girls begin the better cooks they
will become. ! would not marry any
girl who does not know all about the
pantry and the kitchen.
M. +. THOMPSON: Abilene has two
daily papers and is improving in other

too busy to become discouraged.
j. M. OWEN: Dallas is filled with
societies, clubs, association, lodges, or
ders, etc, just like every other place.
People are naturally gregarious and
many of them love to hear themselves
talk. you know. There is entirely too
much public speaking being done just
now. People are bored by it.
MINISTER: Christians who believe
in special providences can see in the
fill of the variety theatre sign that
Others cannot. God can crush such
iniquities when he wishes, and shows
his abundant mercy by destroying
this one on Saturday, thus giving the
unfortunate inmates chance to be
saved.
Ross AVENUE: Dallas is becoming
large enough for one citizen TO turn
over in bed without exciting the town
as is the case in the average village.
Yet, / have two troublesome neigh
bors who run themselves almost TO
death to keep up with all the sensation
and scandal in the place. Thank God
they will soon be too old to go.
News: The people of Dallas may
well pause and reflect upon the great
ness of their city and her future pos
sibilities. 1t is now a fixed ia that
within the next thirty days there will
be added 10 the business of Dallas
three large firms, aggregating in cap

II. KAUFER, of Marienfeld: l am
now thoroughly convinced that the
generally accepted opinion that the
